Chapter 696 No one can leave!
"What, you want all of us to stay?"
Inside Weiyang Palace.
Ren Wenxuan's face darkened when he saw Chu Ning making the request: "I am in a hurry to go back to deal with important matters. Can you afford to delay my time?"
Chu Ning laughed, turned around and looked at this person, and said calmly: "This happened suddenly, and I didn't force you to stay."
"In order to investigate this matter, don't I have to stay here for a month?"
"Why, your time is time, but my time is not time?"
"you……"
Even though Ren Wenxuan was quick-witted, he was speechless for a moment and had to turn to look at Liu Che.
"Your Majesty, Emperor of the Han Dynasty, are you really going to let Chu Ning do whatever he wants?"
There's no need to even address me, I just call them by their names.
At this moment Ren Wenxuan was really anxious.
Now the State of Yan and the State of Chu are fighting in Yunzhou, and the court still needs to gather all the food and grass. If we don’t go back soon, it will definitely affect the battle of Yunzhou.
No matter what, he had to find a way to leave this place.
In this battle of Yunzhou, Yan State cannot be defeated again, otherwise it will completely lose all its elite troops!
However, Liu Che, who was sitting on the main seat, raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said in a cold voice: "Prime Minister Ren, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet."
"A prince died in Chang'an City. If this matter were to get out, how would the Han Dynasty maintain its reputation?"
"Besides, the prince of Zhao died here, and Zhao will ask me for an explanation."
"So, I can only temporarily inconvenience Prime Minister Ren and the others."
The last sentence was not only spoken to Ren Wenxuan, but also to Princess Changping and others.
Di Ying sighed upon hearing this and was the first to step forward: "Since this has happened, I am willing to stay in order to prove my innocence."
The Great Zhou Dynasty and Chu Ning had a good relationship. Now that Chu Ning was going to stay, Di Ying had absolutely no reason to leave.
Although there were many things waiting for him to deal with in the Great Zhou Dynasty, compared with Chu Ning, those things seemed insignificant.
Liu Che was satisfied when he heard this: "Prime Minister Di has always been very sensible. After seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."
"The other three, what do you think?"
The remaining three people who had not expressed their opinions looked at each other, and then Princess Changping stepped forward and said calmly: "It's okay for this princess to go back. I am willing to stay here."
If I go back, the emperor will inevitably urge me to get married, so I might as well stay in the Han Dynasty for a while longer.
These words made Liu Che feel relieved.
There are already two people willing to stay. If we can convince one more person, this can be done.
He looked at the remaining Li Shiming and Ji Yinghao, waiting for them to express their opinions.
Ji Yinghao thought about it, then looked at Chu Ning again, and finally sighed:
"Since an accident has occurred, I cannot stay out of it and am willing to stay here for a month."
Among the six people, four are willing to stay, and only Ren Wenxuan has expressed that he does not want to stay.
Li Shiming, the only one who did not express his opinion, raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and then smiled helplessly:
"Since you are all willing to stay, it would seem unsociable for me to leave."
The meaning is simple, he wants to leave, but he can't, so he has to stay.
This scene made Ren Wenxuan's face change drastically. He stared at Princess Changping and others and said hatefully:
"You...you all unite together and target the truth!"
Princess Changping's eyes turned cold, and a hint of coldness flashed across them: "What did you say? We are targeting you? Humph, we are all here to investigate this matter, how can we be targeting you?"
"You keep wanting to leave. Did you send someone to kill the King of Wu?"
Just put a big hat on him.
Ren Wenxuan's face suddenly became extremely ugly: "Don't talk nonsense, I am on good terms with the King of Wu, what reason do I have to kill him?"
"It's hard to say!"
Chu Ning suddenly said lightly: "The King of Wu was killed, and I am the most suspicious. Your Yan State and my Chu State are fighting fiercely. Maybe this is your conspiracy. The purpose is to put the blame on me and prevent me from returning to my country."
These words made Liu Che narrow his eyes, and he looked at Ren Wenxuan with suspicion.
Liu Che didn't believe that Chu Ning killed the King of Wu.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Chu Ning was being framed.
The only person at the scene who was at odds with Chu Ning was Ren Wenxuan!
From the perspective of the national situation, Ren Wenxuan is indeed the most suspicious.
"You...you're talking nonsense!"
Ren Wenxuan's face changed drastically, staring at Chu Ning. "Don't slander me, saying that I framed you. You need to produce evidence!"
"I will find the evidence!"
Chu Ning's eyes narrowed, revealing a ruthless look: "It is precisely because I want to find evidence that you cannot leave."
"Besides, all five of us are staying, why are you the only one who wants to leave?"
"Could it be that your Yan State will be destroyed without you, Ren Wenxuan?"
The continuous questioning made Ren Wenxuan realize that he could not leave Chang'an City.
With Chu Ning in charge of this matter, he will be in trouble. If he continues to insist, it will increase his suspicion.
Thinking of this, Ren Wenxuan snorted coldly: "Okay, I want to see how you can find out the truth of this matter within a month!"
"If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation by then, I will definitely not let it go."
Things have come to this point, he had to compromise.
Liu Che heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Very good, since you are willing to stay, I hope you will cooperate with His Royal Highness the King of Chu to investigate this matter and let the truth come to light."
Just as he finished speaking, the eunuch's voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the Champion Marquis requests an audience."
"Enter!"
Huo Quji, who looked exhausted, came into the hall and bowed: "Your Majesty!"
Liu Che nodded slightly: "How is the situation?"
"Your Majesty, I have inspected the scene and found that the assassins are highly skilled in martial arts and are no ordinary people!"
Huo Quji said in a deep voice: "The soldiers of the Wei Kingdom are also elite, but they seem to have no power to fight back against these assassins. Even with the advantage in numbers, they still cannot capture them quickly."
"Also, although the assassins lost some men, their bodies were taken away, and I have not found any clues about the murderer."
Although Liu Che asked Chu Ning to investigate the matter, Chu Ning was an outsider after all. Before that, he had sent Huo Quji to investigate the scene.
However, this result was hard for Liu Che to accept and his face looked grim.
"It seems that the assassin is more powerful than I thought!"
Liu Che narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Investigate, you must investigate thoroughly!"
"Marquis Guanjun, you and the King of Chu will investigate this matter together. If there is any need, please satisfy him as much as possible!"
Such an important matter naturally cannot be left to Chu Ning to investigate alone, Huo Quji must be included in the investigation.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best to assist the King of Chu in investigating this case and find the murderer as soon as possible!" Huo Quji replied with a serious face.
Chu Ning nodded slightly when he heard this: "Your Majesty, Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, rest assured. I have a plan. I believe that I will be able to find the murderer as soon as possible!"
